Reproduction:

• There is no indication on a vent before you activate it what you are getting, unlike /TG/ which, specifically with Meson goggles I believe, would tell you exactly what ores a vent contains when hovered over.

• Enemies do not realistically scale, and you can have hordes of legions or bile worms on a small vent or two trapped brim demons on a large vent

• Vents take much longer than they otherwise do on /TG/ station, and there seems to be no scaling with completion time based on enemies killed. Although I am unsure if this is a feature on /TG/

• No starter kit can be bought from the mining point vendor

• The Brine Chamber is utterly useless and only serves the purpose of clogging up hallways when a simple plumbing constructor serves virtually the same purpose.

• Menacing Vents do not seem to exist, and or cannot trigger

• Ways to locate vents outside of occasionally seeing one spawn in a rock with a 'plus' shape do not exist. The original system had vent-pointers / vent-locators (science item I believe) that would help direct miners to find vents quicker. Time is money, finding two vents in thirty minutes to a comparative 3 in ten minutes on /tg/ from several play tests makes it sluggish when our server has an even faster round expectation then /TG/.

• Boulder retrieval is NOT automatic. It can trigger an automatic mode, yes, however, even then it only processes five at a time before automatically shutting off, even if more boulders can be processed.

• The infinite point generation glitch can still occur on a vent if you do certain things, but its really too much work for the average miner to consider doing so.

• Ore thumpers produce bogus boulders ever since vent/arc mining was added, making silver and seemingly nothing else (or occasionally plastic)
